Phillip Lindsay nominated for Vizio Top Value Performer award

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is among five nominees for Vizio’s 2018 Top Value Performer award.

The award is given “to the NFL player whose on-field performance most-exceeds the value of their contract and with the season he put together this year, Phillip is a perfect candidate,” Vizio said in a press release.

Lindsay signed a three-year, $1.725 million contract with the Broncos as a rookie free agent following the 2018 NFL draft. He earned a base salary of $473,112, less than every other player nominated for this year’s Top Value Performer award.

Lindsay gained 1,278 yards from scrimmage this year and scored 10 total touchdowns. He made NFL history in December when he became the first ever undrafted offensive rookie to be voted to the Pro Bowl.
